Bookstores

Sales plummeted at Barnes & Noble bookstores in the latest quarter and its Nook e-book devices failed to keep up with competitors, pushing the company to a net loss that more than doubled from a year ago.

These specialty bookstores in Washington D.C. are perfect spots to find that one title you’ve been searching for and to settle in for a fun ride, or to find a book that champions your cause, attend a celebrity book signing or simply enjoy the look, smell and feel of a good book.
